American Black Film Festival (ABFF) Announces 2016 Films in Competition

The American Black Film Festival (ABFF) is the “nations most prominent film festival,” and attracts audiences from across the globe. The organization recently released a line-up of over 25 narrative features, web originals, short films, and documentaries that will be showcased at the Olympia Theater, Colony Theatre, and Regal Cinemas in Miami Beach, June 15-19, for the 20th anniversary of the festival.

“This year’s films not only reflect diverse storytelling and diversity within the black experience, but also the technological advances of the times—from the 1936 Berlin Olympic Games, to a narrative feature film shot entirely on the iPhone 6s, We have people coming from all around the nation to support the work of these talented filmmakers, and we hope that the local community will take part in ABFF as well.” – Jeff Friday, ABFF CEO and Founder
